I see what y'all are saying and it makes sense.

To me, "survival" would be a pretty boring thing if not for human drama, human threats or zombies that wanted to eat you. The show is giving us that without going overboard (yes, I just said that about a show with zombies in it).

BTW, did anyone catch the show about the blackout on NGC last night? I forget it's title, but I would imagine that it had something to do with a EMP burst. That's a threat I've known about for a while and until recently, I had not paid it too much mind... but it is a very real and serious threat, especially with out power gird/infrastructure being in the shape that it's in.

If a scenario like that were to occur I would give society exactly three months before all hell broke loose. I don't even think that the military could contain the violence that would result.
